Of a dollmakers studio

It is done! Finally.
Right now I am sitting in it typing this entry. Some of you already saw on my Instagram and others already asked me about how it was progressing. But now I can finally say: My new studio is finished.
I finally got a room (in the attic) to myself and for my dollmaking and crafting adventures. Truly, what a luxury!

But the building up took its toll, some time and most of all strength…

…after all the attic was a cold structural work space before…

…and we had to make a breakthrough to the floor/ceiling in the hallway
in order to extend the stairs further upwards…

Soon the dolls will join me here. They are a little anxious already though. I hope they will like it here.
Also my table and other stuff has to be move upstairs soon. Only the pitched roof is a bit of a challenge, when having no wall to hang things or put cabinets against. Ohmy- we’ll figure something out eventually…
As soon as I finally settle in with all of my things, I will make a room tour of my new little dollmaking studio space.

How do you like the studio? Please, leave me a comment below if you have any idea or tip on storing craft supplies in rooms with roof slopes!?…

PS:
I do love taking a sneak peek in other people’s studios and creative workplaces – So I set up a pinterest board on studios and craft storage. Maybe you like to take a look there, too?
Also while you are there, be sure to check out my dollmakers pinboard, if you would like to meet some of my nice colleague dollmakers…

Hello, my name is Nat.
I am a doll maker, mother of two and a kindergarten teacher.
My doll label has been around since 2014.

I love being creative and making dolls brings all this together for me: drawing, designing patterns and sewing, knitting and crocheting, writing and finally photography.
It never fails to astonish me how wonderfully all that head, hand and heart bring forth become something new and unique in the end and I love sharing all that here with you... {Read more about me here ...}
